Darren Bullock, 40, is a Trump voter who switched from the Democrats in 2016.

He is likely to lose Medicaid coverage because of the new requirements, although he is not hopeful of finding adequate employment.

“If they want people to work 80 hours a month, they’d need to bring in a lot more jobs,” he says.

You nailed it. I have yet to read anything that outlines Trump voters better than this:

How Half of America Lost It's Fucking Mind

I always enjoy reading that article cause it really highlights how smug the left can get when it comes to other people.

There was the thread about a how a Cuban woman who voted for Trump and her father got detained in the ICE raids. Sadly, it took an event to help her learn the error of her ways. She did seem remorseful and wanted to grow from the experience. Yet the vast majority of comments were all dog piling her. I can imagine that every comment that she read about this was her fault, she’s stupid, etc. There was a tiny voice her head going “See, we were right. The left is intolerant. The left is full of jerks and assholes. We never shit on you for your mistakes.”

These types of comments just drive people back to Conservatism and their old beliefs. From what I heard, the Cuban woman grew up around Conservatism and was brainwashed to think “I’ll be spared cause I conformed to Conservative values.” Not realizing that those spreading that propaganda are straight up fucking racists.

The left really does need to start saying to people “It’s alright. You were hoodwinked. We’re going to help you get through this; direct action, mutual aid, etc.”

Unless of course the person whose face is being eaten by a leopard is an unrepentant asshole. Then fuck em. Sympathy and understanding should be left to those who are willing to learn.
